    Northumbrian Water Innovation Festival 2024 - Speed and Scale

    Northumbrian Water do innovation differently. Each year they run a festival, at Newcastle Racecourse, where thousands attendees come and take an active part in "sprints" - literally going from problem, through ideas, to the prototype of a solution... all within a week. It's not just the process that's different, it's the environment. Great food, unique entertainment, inspirational speakers and the outdoor festival summer vibe are just a few of the ingredients that make this event - and way of doing innovation - special. The results speak for themselves. Ideas born at or developed by this festival have delivered real measurable impacts worth tens of millions of pounds across the UK and beyond... and, crucially, are making huge strides in the journey towards net zero and more sustainable ways of working in the UK and international Water sectors. Planet Possible host Niki Roach visited the Innovation Festival earlier this summer to sample the atmosphere and tell the story of this remarkable event. This episode was made in partnership with the Northumbrian Water Innovation Festival. Planet Possible Spotlight is produced by Accordion Innovation Ltd
